I wish elephants did hang out in the city.
Thank you very much and thanks for the fave.

My pleasure. It would be nice for us if they did, but I doubt the elephants would enjoy themselves.

That's true.
Most buildings and facilities haven't been designed to be elephant-friendly.

And once again you created a persuasive anomaly that convinces us it is supposed to be this way, or, wouldn't life be more fun if it were this way? When viewing your work, I often find that you have presented the work of a dreamer, and in so doing made dreamers of all your viewers. Photography often falls short in delivering an analytical perspective, a movement frozen in time. Your work goes to the other side of the camera and shoots back at the lens with a reaction and an alternative that in fact may be the reality, one we don't often see because we are too busy not dreaming.

I like dreamy imagery. Especially that which is just a subtle alteration of reality. Especially things that involve animals being in places where they shouldn't. Elephants are the kings of the animal kingdom....regal, intelligent, authoritative but gentle for the most part...and very community oriented and loving and nurturing. Perhaps they have a wakeup call for us?
Thank you for your perspective, Denis. It inspires me to create!

I watched The Protector recently and after seeing the director's version learned that Tony Jaa actually has pet elephants which made it very easy for him to get involved with the story line. I think you have something there, so much to learn from them...and from yuor artwork.

I love that film.
I didn't know Tony Jaa actually owned elephants. I'm kind of jealous now...haha
Thank you for your invaluable encouragement.

The elephant in the city...remind me of the statement "the elephant in the room. very nice...has a sullen vibe for me.

Sullen eh? Perhaps.
I definitely see him as solemn. I think he's playing the beginning of Coltrane's 'Acknowledgment'.
Thank you, 'Dessa

It seems asthough the elephant is causing the building to shake. The elephant is the bass.
The colours work perfectly together - Natural and, erm, I have the word 'habitat' to use, but I dont know how.
Good work, soldier.

I like that interpretation. And I'm really glad you like the color pallet. I want to do some more stuff in that range.
Thanks much, my friend.

Lines and waves, soaring and descending, blowing that elephant trumpet and letting the notes change everything in their path. Warping and adjusting the world to the inner sounds you hear.
You rock, Andrew!

This looks very cool, you are very good at this.
You have the talent of being not only good at photography but also the talent to take what you see and change the way we will see it.

Thank you for the favorites.

Nice! I like how the warp mimics elephant features.

Great eye, David. Thank you!

Dude thats spectacular. I assume you use PS to make these works of genius? How do you create the warped effect? I need to spend some more time immersing myself in the many things that can be achieved, because at the moment, creating work of this Kwality is beyond me. Truly well done. Two gold stars.

Thank you Lordbrake. Yes, PS is my weapon of choice. I used "image warp" for this one, though there are other ways it can be done. Thank you sincerely for the words and the favorite.

I love the musicality of it, the way great music can transform.....to show that visually, in imagery and words, and in such a powerful way, is a kind of alchemy.

You are more than welcome, Andrew.
